Blackberry 9700 hangs a lot

Also it always shows application storage memory full. Where as my memory card has a lot of space available.

Few people said that the application storage is in d phone memory and not the media card, however applications that I have are only whatsapp, fancy smiley, shazam, Google talk, you tube, blackberry world, bbm, blackberry travel and protect.

And other default applications like a calculator and file manager etc.

Would this be the reason that it is working slow or not responding at times? I clear d log at least 3 times in a day but still the problem persists.

Re: Blackberry 9700 hangs a lot

Whenever you see or feel that it hangs then just perform a battery pull restart like this Device Powered On remove the Battery wait a min.then reinsert it back.

Please press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) look if any other apps. are running.

Always try to Close Applications Correctly - Avoid using the End key to close applications as this simply minimizes the application and leaves it running in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select the Close or Exit option to exit the application.

Also never leave the browser open when not in use.

Good Luck

Re: Blackberry 9700 hangs a lot

Some good advice from prince2012, but let me add a question: What OS are you running? The Bold originally shipped with OS 4 and could be upgraded to OS 5 (I believe those numbers are correct). However, many people have decided to upgrade beyond that to OS 6 which is not a good idea on a 9700. If you're currently running OS 6, I recommend reverting back to OS 5.

I hope that helps you.

Re: Blackberry 9700 hangs a lot

would coonecting it to blackberry desktop software and restoring it will be helpful?

will restore option take away all my data in it?

Hi siddesh_wanikar,

Well by restoring if you are trying to mean Reloading or updating your device OS then Yes it may help and if you perform such action your data may lost so in order to avoid that do a complete backup of your device using BB Desktop software and that data can be restored back to the device easily using restore option in BB desktop software.

If you reload or update your device OS than atleast for 2 or 3 days don't install any app ( whatsapp, fancy smiley, shazam ) and see if your device hangs if not then you can go for those app but one by one to see if any one of those app are the real culprit.

So if you want to go ahead for reloading or updating you can go for it.
